Tēnā koutou katoa.
I'm Daniel Bruce, more commonly known by the online handle Strypey. I come from the islands of Aotearoa in the waters of Te-Moana-Nui-A-Kiwa, renamed 'New Zealand' and 'Pacific Ocean' by the European colonists who built the city of Christchurch where I was born and raised. I recognise the Tāngata Whenua (first people of this land) of this place, whānau (families) and hapū (communities) of the iwi (tribe) Kai Tahu, who know the area as Ōtautahi. I currently live on the hills of Ōpoho, in the city of Dunedin.
I am a writer and performer, and an environmental and social justice activist, with a track record in community access media, digital communications, and free culture advocacy. More about me here:
